Getting an API Key

🔑 To access the Deepgram API you will need a free Deepgram API Key.

Documentation

Complete documentation of the .NET SDK can be found on the Deepgram Docs.

You can learn more about the full Deepgram API at https://developers.deepgram.com.

Installation

To install the C# SDK using NuGet:

Run the following command from your terminal in your projects directory:

dotnet add package Deepgram

Or use the Nuget package Manager.

Right click on project and select manage nuget packages

Targeted Frameworks

• 8.0.x
• 7.0.x
• 6.0.x

Configuration

Add to you ServiceCollection class

Default

for default implementation add

    services.AddDeepgram(string apikey):

With

Notes Regarding CORS

deepgram api does not support COR requests

Examples

Creating a Client

To create rest clients to communitcate with the deepgram apis, instantiate them directly. When creating a restclient you need to pass in the apikey and a HttpClientFactory

Default Client Creation

If you need to customize the url or set optional headers then you can when creating a client passing in a instance of DeepgramClientOptions.

var manageClient = new ManageClient(deepgramClientOptions,httpClientFactory);

DeepgramClientOptions

Property	Value	Description
BaseAddress	string?	url of server, include protocol
Headers	Dictionary<string, string>?	any headers that you want to add
ApiKey	string	REQUIRED apikey for authorization

UserAgent & Authorization headers are added internally

Timeout can also be set by callling the RestClients SetTimeout(Timespan)

Examples

To quickly get started with examples for prerecorded and streaming, run the files in the example folder. See the README in that folder for more information on getting started.

Transcription

Remote File

for available options see PrerecordedSchema

var client = new PrerecordedClient(apiKey,HttpClientFactory);
var response = await client.TranscribeUrlAsync(
    new UrlSource("https://static.deepgram.com/examples/Bueller-Life-moves-pretty-fast.wav"),
    new PrerecordedSchema()
    {
        Punctuate = true
    });

UrlSource

Property	Value	Description
Url	string	Url of the file to transcribe

Local files

There are 2 overloads for local files you can pass either a byte[] or a stream

var deepgramClientOptions = new DeepgramClientOptions("apikey");
var client = new PrerecordedClient(deepgramClientOptions,HttpClientFactory);
var response = await client.TranscribeFileAsync(
    stream,
     new PrerecordedSchema()
    {
        Punctuate = true
    });

CallBackAsync Methods

TranscibeFileCallBackAsync and TranscibeUrlCallBackAsync are the methods to use if you want to use a CallBack url you can either pass the the CallBack in the method or by setting the CallBack proeprty in the PrerecordedSchema, but NOT in both

Live Audio

The example below demonstrates sending a pre-recorded audio to simulate a real-time stream of audio. In a real application, this type of audio is better handled using the pre-recorded transcription.

using Deepgram.CustomEventArgs;
using Deepgram.Models;
using System.Net.WebSockets;

var deepgramClientOptions = new DeepgramClientOptions("apikey");
var deepgramClient = new LiveClient(deepgramClientOptions);

using (var deepgramLive = deepgramClient.CreateLiveTranscriptionClient())
{
    deepgramLive.ConnectionOpened += HandleConnectionOpened;
    deepgramLive.ConnectionClosed += HandleConnectionClosed;
    deepgramLive.ConnectionError += HandleConnectionError;
    deepgramLive.TranscriptReceived += HandleTranscriptReceived;

    // Connection opened so start sending audio.
    async void HandleConnectionOpened(object? sender, ConnectionOpenEventArgs e)
    {
        byte[] buffer;

        using (FileStream fs = File.OpenRead("path\\to\\file"))
        {
            buffer = new byte[fs.Length];
            fs.Read(buffer, 0, (int)fs.Length);
        }

        var chunks = buffer.Chunk(1000);

        foreach (var chunk in chunks)
        {
            deepgramLive.Send(chunk);
            await Task.Delay(50);
        }
    }

    void HandleTranscriptReceived(object? sender, TranscriptReceivedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Transcript.IsFinal && e.Transcript.Channel.Alternatives.First().Transcript.Length > 0) {
            var transcript = e.Transcript;
            Console.WriteLine($"[Speaker: {transcript.Channel.Alternatives.First().Words.First().Speaker}] {transcript.Channel.Alternatives.First().Transcript}");
        }
    }

    void HandleConnectionClosed(object? sender, ConnectionClosedEventArgs e)
    {
        Console.Write("Connection Closed");
    }

    void HandleConnectionError(object? sender, ConnectionErrorEventArgs e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Exception.Message);
    }

    var options = new LiveTranscriptionOptions() { Punctuate = true, Diarize = true, Encoding = Deepgram.Common.AudioEncoding.Linear16 };
    await deepgramLive.Connect(options);

    while (deepgramLive.State() == WebSocketState.Open) { }
}

Logging

The Library uses Microsoft.Extensions.Logging to preform all of its logging tasks. To configure logging for your app simply create a new ILoggerFactory and call the LogProvider.SetLogFactory() method to tell the Deepgram library how to log. For example, to log to the console with Serilog, you'd need to install the Serilog package with dotnet add package Serilog and then do the following:

using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using Deepgram.Logger;
using Serilog;

var log = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .MinimumLevel.Debug()
    .WriteTo.Console(outputTemplate: "{Timestamp:HH:mm} [{Level}]: {Message}\n")
    .CreateLogger();
var factory = new LoggerFactory();
factory.AddSerilog(log);
LogProvider.SetLogFactory(factory);

The sdk will generate loggers with the cateroryName of the client being used for example to get the logger for the ManageClient you would call

LogProvider.GetLogger(nameof(ManageClient));
